“Those working in the genetic design community traditionally use a collection of disparate industrial and academic software tools that can be inefficient, difficult to acquire, set up, learn, and use. Genetic Constructor with GSL inside provides a seamless environment combining the power of a written genetic programming language along with an intuitive graphical environment. In the same way that early compilers in the software industry dramatically increased productivity and standardized the field, we expect that enabling everyone to access industrial grade tooling will greatly advance the synthetic biology sector. Industry wide adoption of an efficient common tool set and genetic programming language will benefit everyone.”
